Cake made with diet soda

Yesterday Trudy came in to visit. She asked dad and I if we had ever heard of cake made with diet soda. Zane had made one and it was so good their family had eaten the whole thing. Today I had a sweet tooth and decided to try it. This is yellow cake mix with only one can of diet orange soda, no eggs or oil, just soda. On the weight watchers this is 2 points. I mixed it up wrong, I mixed it with the beaters instead of a spoon. But it tastes pretty good.
As you can see I added a spoon full of cool whip for another point. But it was sure good. Next time I will cook it a bit longer.
You can do the same thing with a brownie mix and diet soda. People like the diet cherry coke, and diet Pepsi or even diet cream soda. You need to cook 10-15 minutes longer . Be sure that your brownies are cooked through, especially in the middle. Sometimes the top will appear done, but the very bottom will still be very gooey.

I agree! You just add diet soda instead of the other stuff?

Have you tried pumpkin muffins: One spice cake mix and one can of pumpkin. Stir together and pour in muffin pans. Makes 12 muffins (3WW points) or 18 muffins (2 WW points) They are yummy!
